Seeing Xu Qinglong"s expression, Xu Qingtian knew that it was a misunderstanding. He couldn"t help but shake his head and say: "I only have the strength to fight, but it is very difficult for me to be his opponent. My current cultivation is at the peak of the middle stage of the ninth phase, and I"m probably not too far away from the late stage of the nine stages of mystical Qi."

In such a short period of time, Xu Qingtian had already broke through to such a degree, which was enough to prove the might of the Wind Spirit Art. After all, Xu Qingtian"s training time was extremely limited, and now that the Family Compet.i.tion was about to start, Xu Qingtian still had to prepare for it.

Xu Mu and the rest had already returned, all of them were training with all their might, and the atmosphere of the entire clan became extremely tense.

Xu Kuang, Xu Hao, Xu Xue and the others all knew that Xu Qingmo had something up his sleeves, and they immediately went into closed door cultivation in the room. No matter what, they could not let Xu Feng s.n.a.t.c.h the position of Successor Patriarch.

There were only three days left until the Family Compet.i.tion, and a figure dressed in tattered clothes like a beggar had finally walked out from a cave, walking step by step towards the exit of Dark Forest.

"Roar!"

A three to four meter long Flaming Tiger suddenly charged forward, wanting to kill the skinny youth. Its speed turned into afterimages and its aura was extremely tyrannical. The thick and long fur on its body turned scarlet, like a ball of burning flames, it quickly approached the teenager.

"With just you? Get the h.e.l.l back! "

When the Flaming Tiger was only a few dozen meters away from the young man, the young man looked at the Flaming Tiger and suddenly glared, and the hidden Qi in his body immediately burst forth, and an invisible force immediately spread out from within his body.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

The previously menacing and imposing Flaming Tiger, at this moment, instinctively felt a sense of danger that it had never felt before, forcefully stopping its enormous body.

If someone saw this scene, they would be stunned. This was a level 8 Flaming Tiger, an existence that could intimidate others in the forest, yet it was actually scared stiff by Xu Xuan"s words.

The Flaming Tiger"s body forcefully stopped, but its inertia caused him to be unable to stop herself as she continued to move forward. The powerful claws of her four limbs left a deep scratch on the ground and she wanted to control her body to stop quickly, but she still had to travel a few meters before she could stop.

Although it stopped, the Flaming Tiger was already very close to the teenager. This made it panic, and it began to flee.

"Stop right there!"

An angry bellow sounded from behind the Flaming Tiger, causing the Flaming Tiger that was just about to flee to immediately stop and turn around, revealing a pitiful expression as it growled and begged for mercy.

"Cough cough, I didn"t expect you to be able to understand human speech. Looks like you must have eaten some kind of profound medicine."

The young man was Xu Xuan, he smiled as he looked at the Flaming Tiger"s current cowardly look, but his heart was never this carefree and carefree. The past three months of hard training, had truly taken him to the most critical step in his life.

While he was laughing, he walked towards the level eight Flaming Tiger, and that Flaming Tiger was not still that ferocious beast. It looked like a docile big cat at the moment.

Roar, roar!

The Flaming Tiger released a low roar, lowered its head, and did not dare to look Xu Xuan in the eye.

Hehe, don"t worry, I won"t eat you. How about this, you be my mount, and after you send me to Qingyun Town, I will let you leave.

Xu Xuan slowly walked over, and under the Flaming Tiger"s fearful eyes, he stretched out his hand to caress the fur on its body.

"Roar!"

The Flaming Tiger"s voice was filled with helplessness, but the other party"s threat caused it to have no choice but to lower its head.

"Let"s go, haha, go, go!"

Sitting on the majestic back of the Flaming Tiger, Xu Xuan was full of excitement. It was all thanks to the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade, it was all thanks to Hong Sha, and the Five Spiritual Arts. Otherwise, there would never be a day where he, Xu Xuan, could sit on the back of the Flaming Tiger and never have a chance to rise again.

"Run! Why are you lowered your head?"

"Yes, that"s it, haha, that"s fast! "Giddy up!"

"Err, we"re heading in the wrong direction. To the left! d.a.m.n it, why are you so stupid as a pig!"

Along the way, Xu Xuan showed off his might. Every time he pa.s.sed a small village, he would scare the villagers away, and then, his face would fill with envy. Who was this guy, so awesome that he would actually ride on a Flaming Tiger. It was truly a lofty position!

Only the Flaming Tiger was depressed to death, and every time it heard the brat on its back shouting "Jia!", it would fly over. "Giddy up!" He almost vomited blood when he said that. He was a ferocious rank 8 beast, and he was actually being ordered around like a horse. Where was the logic in this world?

Flaming Tiger wanted to take the mountain road and take a detour so that no one would see it and lose face. However, this brat insisted on taking the road and wandered around the village, making it extremely speechless.

At this time, outside of the Xu family"s residence, there was a huge plaza. On the plaza, Xu Family had arrived here a long time ago.

In front of them, there was a huge battling platform. This battling platform was different from the one in the Xu family, and this battling platform was not only many times bigger than the one in the fighting arena, but most importantly, this fighting stage that only happened once every three years was only used by the members of the Xu family.

The main purpose of the Xu family"s triennial martial compet.i.tion was to pay homage to their ancestors. Although this method was somewhat eccentric, it was pa.s.sed down throughout the Xu family. The goal was to tell their ancestors that the Xu family was now very prosperous.

Of course, in every compet.i.tion, those who could obtain the first place in the compet.i.tion would naturally receive a reward.

Behind the martial stage, there was a huge incense burner. Three incense sticks that were thirty to forty feet tall had already been lit up by the smoke, and under the altar, there were all kinds of offerings.

Not too far away from the incense burner, there was a slightly taller grandstand, upon which sat a very important member of the clan.

Other than the disciples who could cultivate in the family, the elders and the women and children who did not have any talent in cultivation were watching everything from a distance, discussing incessantly about the compet.i.tion this time. It was because the compet.i.tion was not a normal compet.i.tion, because there had been no Successor Patriarch in the family for almost three years.

Only the strong were respected, making it more possible for them to lead their families further, towards prosperity and prosperity. Because of this, the Successor Patriarch"s method of election was very simple, and also very direct, and that was to place first in the compet.i.tion.
